Real Estate Externships

The Center’s externships are designed to enable students to gain firsthand experience in a transactional real estate practice or in a sustainability practice under the supervision of an experienced attorney. The Center may place students with law firms, law departments, not-for-profits, and government agencies. Throughout the duration of an externship, students will undertake 120 hours of supervised on-site work over a period of 6–8 weeks, participate in a classroom component provided by the Center for Real Estate Law, keep a journal of their experiences, and complete a short reflections paper.

Unpaid Legal Externships

Externs generally are expected to work 5–15 hours per week on a flexible schedule to ensure that students do not miss class. Interested students should contact the Center if they interested in doing such an externship.
